The Trillion-Dollar Visibility Gap: Infraon Assets and the Quest to Map Enterprise Technology Ecosystems

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaAugust 23, 2025August 25, 2025015 mins

Deepak GuptaDirector, EverestIMS Technologies In today’s sprawling enterprise technology landscapes, what you don’t know can cost you – literally trillions. As organizations navigate an increasingly complex maze of on-premises systems, hybrid clouds, edge devices, and shadow IT, a critical visibility crisis has emerged. The world’s enterprises are hemorrhaging value through inefficient asset utilization, security vulnerabilities, and operational inefficiencies, all stemming from a fundamental problem: incomplete understanding of their technology ecosystems. Enter Infraon Assets, whose unified asset discovery approach is reimagining how organizations map, manage, and monetize their IT investments. The Astronomical Cost of Not Knowing The numbers are staggering. According to recent analyses from McKinsey & Company and Gartner, global enterprises collectively waste over a trillion dollars annually due to poor visibility into their technology assets – a figure that continues to grow as IT environments become more distributed and complex. Most organizations can only account for about 45% of their technology assets with any real confidence. The remaining 55% exists in a gray zone of uncertainty, creating enormous financial leakage and significant security exposure. With Infraon Assets, we’re directly addressing this trillion-dollar visibility gap that’s plaguing enterprise IT. This visibility crisis manifests in numerous ways – unused software licenses costing enterprises billions annually, over-provisioned cloud resources sitting idle, hardware assets that go untracked until they fail, and security teams unable to protect what they don’t know exists. The Asset Discovery Challenge The root of this massive problem lies in how enterprise technology environments have evolved – growing organically over decades, accelerated by cloud adoption, IoT proliferation, and the blurring lines between corporate and personal technology. Traditional approaches to asset management have failed to keep pace with this evolution. Manual inventories quickly become outdated. Siloed discovery tools provide only partial visibility. And the dynamic nature of modern IT means that any static snapshot of the environment is obsolete almost immediately. The legacy approach to asset discovery is fundamentally broken. Organizations typically employ 6-10 different tools that each provide fragmented views of the environment -network scanning tools, endpoint management solutions, cloud management platforms, and more. None provides the comprehensive picture needed for truly effective management. Infraon Assets takes a radically different approach, implementing what the company calls ‘unified discovery’ that combines multiple detection methodologies: The key innovation is how we synthesize these different discovery methods into a single, coherent view of the entire technology ecosystem. We’re not just collecting data – we’re creating relationships, mapping dependencies, and building a dynamic model that evolves as the environment changes. From Inventory to Intelligence What truly sets Infraon Assets apart is its transformation of raw asset data into actionable intelligence through what the company calls its ‘Golden Database’ of IT infrastructure insights. Most asset management systems are glorified inventory lists. They tell you what you have, but not what it means. Our approach converts that inventory into intelligence that drives business decisions. This intelligence manifests across several dimensions: The Economics of Asset Visibility The financial implications of comprehensive asset visibility extend far beyond direct cost savings. Organizations leveraging Infraon Assets’ unified discovery approach report significant improvements across multiple business dimensions: When we look at the cumulative impact across all these dimensions, the ROI is extraordinary. We’re seeing pay back periods of less than six months for most implementations, with ongoing benefits that compound over time. Technology Ecosystem Mapping: The New Frontier As Infraon Assets continues to evolve its platform, the company is pioneering what it calls ‘technology ecosystem mapping’ – a holistic approach that goes beyond traditional asset management to create a comprehensive visualization of the entire technology landscape. We’re moving beyond just tracking individual assets to understanding the complex web of relationships between technology components, business services, user experiences, and organizational outcomes. This ecosystem mapping capability enables organizations to: It’s about connecting the dots across the entire technology footprint. When you can see not just what exists, but how everything interrelates, you unlock entirely new possibilities for optimization and innovation. The Human Element: Beyond Technology While technology is at the core of Infraon Assets’ offering, the company recognizes that effective asset management is ultimately about people and processes. The platform includes robust capabilities for managing the human aspects of technology ecosystems: Technology doesn’t exist in a vacuum – it’s acquired, configured, used, and eventually retired by people. Our approach acknowledges this reality by incorporating the human element into every aspect of asset management. This human-centric approach extends to the platform’s user experience, which emphasizes intuitive visualization and contextual information rather than overwhelming users with technical details. We’ve designed the system to provide the right information to the right people at the right time. A CIO needs different insights than a security analyst or a service desk technician, and the platform adapts accordingly. Looking Forward: The Future of Asset Intelligence As organizations continue their digital transformation journeys, comprehensive visibility into technology assets will become even more critical. Infraon Assets is already working on next-generation capabilities that will further expand the boundaries of what’s possible: The future of asset management isn’t just about knowing what you have – it’s about leveraging that knowledge to drive better business outcomes. As technology environments continue to grow in complexity, the value of comprehensive visibility will only increase. Organizations that achieve this visibility will have a significant competitive advantage in terms of agility, efficiency, and innovation capacity. In a world where technology is increasingly the primary driver of business value, Infraon Assets is on a mission to ensure that organizations can see, understand, and optimize every aspect of their technology investments – closing the trillion-dollar visibility gap and transforming IT asset management from a necessary administrative function into a strategic business enabler.

Smart Traffic Management to Save 900m Tons of Emissions Globally by 2030, But Security Must Scale with Adoption

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaAugust 22, 2025August 25, 202503 mins

A new study from Juniper Research, the foremost experts in IoT markets, has found the adoption of smart traffic management solutions will save up to 923 million metric tons (MMT) of CO2 by 2030. This is an increase of 151% on the 368 MMT CO2 savings forecast for this year. This substantial increase in CO2 saving represents 1.5% of 2030 global carbon emissions. Cybersecurity Remains a Key Concern To achieve these CO2 savings, Juniper Research believes it is essential that security measures can scale alongside the growing number of sensors in smart traffic management solutions and the increasing volume of data generated. We have identified technologies specifically designed for high-end security in data-intensive and automated environments, such as data minimisation solutions and federated learning, as ideal for processing real-time information from smart traffic management solutions. Juniper Research finds that the technologies that provide data anonymisation, particularly in the face of real-time decision making, will position smart traffic management vendors best to capitalise in a market expected to grow from $14.8 billion globally in 2025, to $32.7 billion in 2030. Integrating these technologies will enable vendors to analyse traffic data without compromising any personal data collected; enhancing public trust and reducing the risk of data breaches. As smart traffic management solutions continue to collect valuable personal data to optimise traffic flows, the threat of cyber-attacks is increasing. Smart traffic vendors must deploy robust security measures to ensure system reliability, continually enabling optimised traffic flows; leading to significant emission reductions and cost savings Michelle JoynsonResearch author The research suite offers a comprehensive assessment of the smart traffic management market, including insightful market analysis and in-depth forecasts for 60+ countries. The dataset contains over 37,000 market statistics within a five-year period. It includes a ‘Competitor Leaderboard’ to examine the current and future market opportunities.

EU Must Choose: Strong Anti-Corruption Rules Or Business As Usual

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaAugust 20, 2025August 25, 202504 mins

Open letter from 57 civil society organisations across EU member states, accession countries and wider Europe urges institutions to raise anti-corruption standards in final negotiations. Recently, 57 civil society organisations, including 23 Transparency International chapters and partners, published an open letter calling on the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament to uphold and strengthen the anti-corruption measures adopted by the European Parliament as part of the proposed EU Anti-Corruption Directive. Designed to establish common standards for preventing and addressing corruption across member states, the Directive is now entering a critical final phase of interinstitutional negotiations. The signatories call on EU leaders to demonstrate genuine political will to combat corruption and set a higher standard for integrity and accountability across the bloc. The letter highlights growing public frustration with corruption across the EU.
